Arkansas fishing regulations are established by the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission to ensure sustainable fishing practices and protect aquatic resources.
All anglers aged 16 to 64 must possess a valid Arkansas fishing license. Special permits may be required for certain species like trout or paddlefish.
Daily creel limits vary by species: largemouth bass - 10 per day, catfish - 10 per day, crappie - 30 per day. Size restrictions apply to some species.
Fishing seasons are year-round for most species except specific waters with seasonal closures. Special regulations exist on certain lakes and rivers.
Always check current regulations before fishing as rules may change annually. Regulations are available online and at license vendors throughout the state. |
